Is A Third Dose Necessary If You Get Covid-19 Infection After Taking Two Doses Of Vaccine?

Saudi Ministry of Health has said that “There is no need to take the third dose in this case.”

The first dose should get taken at least ten days after being infected with the virus. Taking a second dose will also protect you from the effects of new forms of the virus. Once you have first dose, you can take second after three weeks.
The Ministry of Health says that if a person is infected with the virus after taking the first dose, the second dose should get taken at least ten days later, but there is no need for the third dose.
In addition, Sabq News quoted the Saudi Ministry of Health saying that “Corona vaccines given in the kingdom are safe and effective; taking both doses of the vaccine can also protect against a new mutated form of the virus.”
The health ministry says the new form of Corona is spreading rapidly and that both doses are necessary to stay safe.

It is noticeable that in the beginning, people who have recovered from Corona were given the same dose of Corona, but now, according to new research, people who have recovered from Corona for more than six months are being given a second dose.
